You guys, the Instant Pot insanity is getting real now. I decided to bake in mine last night for the first time, and it turned out amazing! I whipped up a quick batter for a low fat banana nut bread. I poured it in the pan and off it went. My result was a ridiculously … More Low Fat Pressure Cooker Banana Bread

I got an Instant Pot for Christmas and so far I haven’t been able to stop using it. This thing does just about anything you can think of. It is a steamer, rice cooker, pressure cooker, slow cooker, yogurt maker, warmer, saute pan, you name it! I never really thought I would use the yogurt … More Instant Pot Greek Yogurt

This salad from Skinnytaste is PERFECT for prepacking for lunches, which is exactly what I am doing with it this week. The chicken crumble mix is so easy to throw together.

The recipe is guacamole stuffed chicken … More Guacamole Stuffed Chicken and Mexican Cauliflower Rice

How is everyone doing? You guys still alive out there? Well you will be after you try this meal! These meatballs with their tangy sauce were spot on. I love meatballs but, lets face it, meatballs can be a bit, lets say…labor intensive. All that mixing and rolling …blah! So when I saw these listed … More Sweet and Sour Meatballs Over Polenta with Sesame Sauteed Spinach

One thing I love about subscribing to Cooking Light Magazine is the ability to go back a few months later and look through past issues. I often find things that I overlooked the first time, or things that I dog-eared and then forgot about. This recipe is one that I marked and then never got … More Turkey Schnitzel with Radicchio Apple Slaw

The hubs and I both love crab cakes. But, every restaurant has a different idea of what a crab cake should be. Hubs spent some of his youth in Baltimore so he knows a good crab cake when he sees one. Unfortunately some restaurants believe that a crab cake only needs to have some crab … More Red Pepper Crab Cakes with Lemony Mayo
